Hootie 1 and Hootie 2

So what’s been up with the Sterks? We are almost done with our boat! We just have to carpet it, which we are waiting for (the carpet that is). We keep getting the run around with the store, but nevertheless, it’ll get done – at some point. We are just so excited to take more…
God did something pretty cool in my life today. When I was walking back to my car from cleaning church, I had this immense thought of “I feel like I’m ‘Kristin’ again!” I almost didn’t know what to think of that feeling b/c it had been so long since I had felt like that –…
This morning as I was taking a jog, I went down to the beach and just watched the waves crash. I just stood there for a few seconds and just listened to the waves roar. I couldn’t help but feel like those waves. They reach a high peak and then boom – crash. But then…
